Product overview

The R&S®SMA100B RF and microwave signal generator delivers performance without compromise: the purest output signals in its class while holding maximum output power and extremely low harmonic distortion, ahead of the competition across the board. As the world's leading signal generator it takes on the most demanding module and system test tasks in the RF semiconductor, wireless communications and aerospace and defense industries.

Key features

  • Frequency range: 8 kHz to 3 / 6 / 12.75 / 20 / 31.8 / 40 / 50 and 67 GHz, extendable to 170 GHz with an upconverter
  • Best single sideband phase noise in the industry: –132 dBc/Hz (typ., 10 GHz, 10 kHz offset)
  • Outstanding wideband noise: –162 dBc/Hz (meas., 10 GHz, 30 MHz offset)
  • Maximum output power exceeding +30 dBm across wide frequency ranges
  • Exceptionally low harmonic distortion, for industry-leading signal purity
  • High dynamic range, uninterrupted level sweep (with the R&S®SMAB-K724 option)
  • User correction (UCOR), closed-loop power control and other versatile functions
  • Modern graphical user interface with a touchscreen for intuitive operation
  • R&S®LegacyPro emulation of earlier signal generators, protecting the investment in existing test programs

Typical applications

  • RF semiconductor test (amplifier gain, ADC/DAC characterization)
  • Wireless communications development and verification
  • Aerospace and defense radar and electronic warfare system test
  • Characterization of microwave modules and subsystems
  • Evaluation of phase noise sensitive receivers and oscillators
